Tess (1979) 81% EDIT “It does not shout and it does not speed; it rolls along effortlessly, at an even rate, like a country brook, and when it ends one wishes for more.” – Washington Blade Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Arthur (1981) 86% EDIT “All in all, Arthur is great. Steve Gordon writes funny lines like we have not heard from the screen since the thirties.” – Washington Blade May 23, 2022 Full Review Zorro, the Gay Blade (1981) 50% EDIT “Surprise! Zorro, The Gay Blade is a splendid farce, so good-natured and unpretentious that one chuckles at even the corniest of its jokes.” – Washington Blade May 23, 2022 Full Review Escape From New York (1981) 85% EDIT “New York as surreal, existential hell was done much better by Walter Hill in The Warriors; Carpenter’s imagery fails to shock today’s jaded audiences.” – Washington Blade May 23, 2022 Full Review Blow Out (1981) 88% EDIT “Brian DePalma keeps getting better.” – Washington Blade May 23, 2022 Full Review Mon Oncle d'Amerique (1980) 86% EDIT “Even if Resnais had succeeded in making a coherent whole out of all the ill-conceived pieces, the tone alone would make it offensive.” – Washington Blade May 23, 2022 Full Review The Last Metro (1980) 86% EDIT “The Last Metro is a romantic delight: a full-bodied, gentle, passionate cross between Casablanca and Day for Night. It is also an inspiring (but not preachy) indictment of anti-Jewish and anti-homosexual cruelty.” – Washington Blade May 23, 2022 Full Review The Great Muppet Caper (1981) 78% EDIT “The sophisticated, ironic overtones do not interfere with a child’s enjoyment of the film. The two levels enrich each other by fusing into a complex vision that is satisfying to an intelligent person be he or she young or old.” – Washington Blade May 20, 2022 Full Review Polyester (1981) 93% EDIT “Polyester will be remembered for a long time. It is a well-made film, a masterpiece of comedy and an utterly original, independent vision.” – Washington Blade May 20, 2022 Full Review New York, New York (1977) 58% 4/4 EDIT “Perhaps the best American film of 1977.” – Washington Blade May 20, 2022 Full Review Halloween II (1981) 36% 1/4 EDIT “Hollow and pointless.” – Washington Blade May 20, 2022 Full Review Chanel Solitaire (1981) 3/4 EDIT “A graceful character study... The dignified cinematic pace and muted passions mirror the relaxed elegance that was Chanel.” – Washington Blade May 20, 2022 Full Review
